Opportunity for sugar mills to increase profitability
Indians were among the first people on Earth, along with the indigenous people of New Guinea, to cultivate sugarcane and develop techniques to produce sugar from it. Over the years, newer processes have been developed to extract maximum juice from the cane and make sugar production profitable for the farmers and the sugar mills.
